Learned about Outcome Mapping in details - happy with all arrangements
How to know project progress through OM / make future planning to achieve
How to know project country OM / how to learn VCA/IP
Selection of topics --> very suitable for both countries + relevant!
Got us to work together and come up with clear outputs at end of each session
Very good teamwork; active till the last day
Very much engaging
Engaged participants :)
Content, concept, way of presentation were loved
It was more participatory (process)
Rich variation in modalities for work sessions
Good varied facilitation! Different methods
Liked variety of exercises
Workshop facilitation is very good, keep us energising, learn more about working in group manner, efficiently for the product
Very good facilitation, dynamic, new approaches
Facilitation was lively --> opportunity to learn new facilitation methods
Good facilitation
The food was lovely!
What could have been improved:
Please try to keep slow speech
Please try to keep slow (?unrecognised word?)
Process was a bit fast, so little difficulty in my understanding
Fast process of workshop
Would have been good if some refresher training was given on Outcome Mapping
5 days was very long... but it's also good to benefit time together
Long workshop shorter or with visit or 1/2 day break
Add break in the middle (e.g. field day) to recharge energy levels
Would have been better to have 1 or 1/2 day to the field
Some more icebreaking exercises is needed to motivate some of the more silent members
Exercises that motivate the more shy members to participate actively
Language was a constraint during some of the group exercises
Room is a bit small for so many people for 5 days
Closing remarks by Saskia
The agenda was very dense but it is heartening to see that all the teams have made good progress. OM has helped us to adapt our planning and improve our work.
The session on innovation platforms was useful for sharing experiences and frustrations, too, and how to overcome these.
On communications, we were able to review the plans we developed last year but didn't do much about. We need to review the plans we have drawn up here to ensure we have realistic actions.
We have 6 months left and a lot to do but there is a good team spirit and we can make it.
